In addition to research, Zhao Yi also needs to pay attention to the industry he "personally" started, that is, the jewelry industry. The human resources company found him a vice president two months ago. He was previously at Shangtong Trading Company. A president of one of its subsidiaries.
After so many years of economic development, most of the domestic talents have been absorbed by his companies and state-owned enterprises, and the number of talents left outside has become very rare.
It's not surprising that the human resources company poached the corner of Shangtong Trading Company. Zhao Yi didn't really mind if people came out of their own industry to join others. The circulation of talents is a market behavior.
Although Shangtong Trading Company is very large and has many types of industries, it does not mean that it is easy to climb up. Most of the positions are like carrots and holes.
Because the current business is relatively fixed, it is very difficult to break through through normal channels, so Shangtong Trading Company also encourages its staff to show their initiative. If they have any good ideas, they can apply for funds from the company and "start their own business".
As long as the project is approved by the company, the company will not only provide them with sufficient financial support, but also provide them with huge additional resource support, making their "start-up" success rate much higher.
Of course, if the business fails, as long as there are no human factors, you can still go back to work. In this way, the employee risk of "starting a business" is reduced to the limit.
Therefore, this expansion model is now very popular in Shangtong Trading Company. Every year, a group of talents who are unwilling to be lonely come out to "start a business". Thanks to the support of Shangtong Trading Company's resources, the success rate reaches about 80%.
The reason why there is such a high success rate is that in addition to sufficient resource support, the quality of "entrepreneurial" personnel is high and entrepreneurial projects have been strictly reviewed, both of which account for relatively high success factors.
In addition, it has a lot to do with the current domestic market environment. There are still many blank areas in the country and the intensity of competition is not high. As long as you can think of it, the possibility of failure is basically very low.
This internal "entrepreneurship" model has made Shangtong Trading Company a huge success, which is why a trading company has thousands of subsidiaries.
However, not all companies can use this model. Shangtong Trading Company is a big business and can afford a lot of trial and error costs. If the company is small, don't think about expanding in this way.
At the last annual meeting, Zhao Yi focused on this topic, asking other companies under his umbrella to follow Shangtong Trading Company's expansion model. This model is considered a very suitable model for large companies. .
The vice president he chose this time used this model to become the president of one of its subsidiaries from a small supervisor in Shangtong Trading Company. However, although the business situation was good, due to industry restrictions, the development potential was relatively limited.
It is quite uncomfortable for someone who has been a boss to want to return to his original position, but he does not want to stick to his current industry, so he simply quits.
Since Bole Human Resources Company controls the personnel work of all its companies, they simply introduced the vice president to Zhao Yi when retrieving file information.
After an interview with Zhao Yi, he felt that his talent and character were enough to serve as the vice president of the beauty jewelry company he founded. Although he was the vice president, his treatment was not much different from that of the president, and the company was usually managed by him. .
After the vice president arrived at his post, he began to contact his old employer to discuss store and venue matters. He originally thought that his connections could play a role, but he found that he had thought too much.
When he approached the relevant person in charge to talk about the matter, the person in charge said directly before he could ask the question: "Just waiting for you to come over, stores and venues all over the country have been prepared for you.
You only need to recruit enough employees to start operation. If additional decoration is required, we can also recommend relevant construction units to you, and the price will definitely be good.
If you don't have enough employees, we can also provide you with a group of store manager-level employees. Anyway, there are quite a lot of such talents in our company. "
This is true. Shangtong Trading Company is the largest trading company and retail terminal company in our country and even the world, and of course it has the most sales talents.
If the boss hadn't wanted to put this jewelry company in his name, it would have been handled in minutes by the Shangtong Trading Company, and there would have been less trouble.
The vice president of Liren Jewelry Company thought that he would have to spend some time, but in the end, he got it done without even raising the issue, which was a bit unbelievable to him.
Although he didn't ask the person in charge why this happened, he could imagine that his new boss had energy beyond his imagination.
You must know that Shangtong Trading Company is not a small business, and it is not someone with ordinary rights who can say hello casually. The relationship between the president and the president is directly connected to the central level.
And his new boss can actually influence his old boss. He has a lot of energy, and judging from the boss's age, it should mean that his family is very powerful.
Ignoring the vice president's speculation, with the help of Shangtong Trading Company, stores and venues across the country were all completed in just two months. All that was left was to recruit ordinary clerks and wait for the jewelry and gold. The goods are gone.
All the work of recruiting ordinary store clerks was left to the human resources company. As for jewelry and gold, the boss just asked him to choose a suitable place to build a production factory and jewelry processing center.
After getting the drawings given by his boss, he arranged these things non-stop. After the production site and processing center site were built, he could directly bring the equipment from the precision instrument company for installation.
Zhao Yi only prepared more than ten kinds of gemstones at the beginning, and did not produce too many, because too many may mean a reduction in profits, so it is better to focus on the production and processing of a small number of gemstones.
In fact, according to the current types of gemstones, the number of more than ten kinds of artificial gemstones is quite large, enough to run its jewelry company for a long time.
However, all his hopes are not pinned on these artificial jewelry, because it will take a long time for a new gemstone to be recognized by consumers.
If he only relied on gems to maintain operation, he would definitely face huge losses, so to maintain the operation of this company, he still needed to rely on the gold in his hands.
It’s just that the gold mining work needs to wait until June to start, so if the jewelry company’s store wants to open, it will have to wait until July, because by that time, the first batch of gold should have been shipped back.
In fact, among the gems he prepared, in addition to original gems, there are also some gem products found in nature, including diamonds, Hotan jade, jade, etc.
Before, he had thought about not getting involved with these things, for fear of getting into trouble, but then he thought about it. At present, these natural gems are being mined less and less, and the prices are still high. They are simply not affordable for ordinary people.
Especially for Hotan jade, basically all the mines have been mined. As for jade, it is not available in China yet and needs to be imported from Myanmar. It costs a lot of foreign exchange every year and is not affordable for ordinary people.
As for diamonds, there are actually a lot of mineral deposits at present, but some organizations have controlled the source of the minerals. This time he prepared with the intention of breaking the existing pattern.
These "natural gems" produced through his technology are no different from natural gems in nature. They cannot be identified artificially because they are the same thing.
To be honest, he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing. If it was done well, all the people would be able to afford natural jewelry that was previously unavailable.
If it is not done well, it is very likely that these jewelry industries will be completely ended and the people will think that this kind of gemstone is not worthy of the title of gemstone at all. In order to avoid this happening, the output must be controlled.
Of course, if he really messed up, he would probably just play with all the gems in the world, so that people all over the world would accept the existence of artificial gems.
Because at that time, there were no only natural gems. Even if the natural gems that rich people bought at a high price, and the artificial gems that ordinary people bought for a small amount of money, there was no difference.
If it is one or two, some people may be more hypocritical, but if all gems face such a situation, it is estimated that the original gem dealers will start to boast that artificial gems are also gems.
Because if you don't help brag, the consequence will be that no one will be able to do business. As for the trouble it will cause, Zhao Yi is mentally prepared. Anyway, he is not afraid.
This time he is determined to disrupt the situation in the jewelry field. Anyway, our country's gem resources are getting less and less. Most of the gem resources are imported. At worst, it won't be much worse. At the worst, he will buy gold as a gift. gem.
In fact, the price of these artificial gemstones still exists, because their cost is not too low. Even if they are sold for takeout, they will not become widespread and become street stalls.
It is just a matter of completely lowering the previously high prices of gemstones and allowing these jewelry to enter people's daily lives. The jewelry industry will not be a huge profit industry in the future, but just a very ordinary industry.
This situation is very consistent with Zhao Yi's consistent thinking. For him, if he cannot make a popular product, the value will be greatly reduced and the meaning of existence will be less. This is why it is important for him to change his previous approach. reason.
No matter what changes will happen to the jewelry industry in the future, he will still stay leisurely in his laboratory, busy with various experiments, and the disturbances from the outside world will hardly disturb him.
But just when he was busy, the government sent an invitation letter, hoping that he could attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway. After receiving the invitation letter, he discovered that the time had unknowingly arrived in June.
In the past few months, he has been very busy in the laboratory, and his scope of activities basically did not leave the scope of his home. He even spent most of the time between two o'clock and one line, which was very monotonous and boring.
In this repetitive daily life, it is easy for people to lose sight of time. Just like when we stay at home during a long vacation, we don’t have much idea of what day it is this year or what day of the week it is.
The reason why I sent him an invitation letter is naturally because he has contributed a lot to this project. Although he has basically not cared about it, without the full set of technologies he provided, it is basically impossible to have the current high-speed rail.
Moreover, he still holds the title of chief engineer of the high-speed rail project, so inviting him was appropriate. According to the past, he was too lazy to participate in such activities. Not only was it time consuming, but it was also extremely boring.
But now his thoughts are different. Since he has chosen to "come out", he naturally needs to find a good opportunity. In the short term, there is no more suitable one than this high-speed rail opening ceremony.
Because as my country's first high-speed railway, it is certain that it has received widespread domestic attention, and the technical level of this high-speed railway is so far ahead that foreign countries have also paid enough attention.
At that time, in addition to the senior leaders becoming the focus, as the chief engineer of the project, he will naturally also be a presence that many media cannot ignore. What's more, for such a young chief engineer, the topic will be even stronger.
So he happily agreed to attend the opening ceremony. He was mentally prepared, and he had also experienced big events. He was relatively experienced in facing reporters.
On the day of the opening ceremony of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway, Zhao Yi, accompanied by security personnel, drove to the Kyoto high-speed railway station. The opening ceremony in Kyoto was arranged to be held inside the high-speed railway station.
When Zhao Yi came to the scene, there were already a lot of people on site, most of them were reporters from all walks of life. The leaders were not at the scene, so there was probably a special lounge.
As soon as Zhao got out of the car, he was taken to a lounge by the service staff. When he came in, he found that all the major leaders were here. After seeing him come in, they all stood up and greeted him.
I was a little flattered to see that the chief assistant was here and stood up to greet him. Although they had met many times, this was the first time they were so enthusiastic.
“In fact, before this opening ceremony, we had already arranged for high-speed rail vehicles to run in Beijing and Tianjin for some time, and all indicators have met the design requirements.
This proves that our high-speed rail technology has become the most advanced in the world, directly crossing the threshold of high-speed rail technology powers such as Japan and Germany, and becoming the world's leading country in high-speed rail technology.
Although I also know that you are lazy, I heard that you have never been to CRRC even once. If any other chief engineer had done this, he would have been fired a long time ago. "Shou Fu said jokingly.
Testing before the opening ceremony is a normal process. As for the issue of meeting the standards of various parameters, he is not worried at all. As long as they do it according to his design requirements, there will definitely be no problems.
The first assistant is so happy, not only because we have another technology leading the world, but more importantly, the importance of high-speed rail technology to our country is far greater than that of many other countries.
Our country has a vast territory, and transportation of people and materials basically requires railways. The existence of high-speed rail presses the fast-forward button on this process, which has a huge role in promoting the development of our country's economy and people's livelihood.
With the development of our country's economy, there has never been such an urgency for efficient transportation as it is now. Therefore, this high-speed rail, for which we fully master the technology, is of great significance.
It is precisely because of its great significance that the first assistant attended the opening ceremony in person. As for the seemingly critical jokes later, it is just a reflection of his inner happiness.
Now all senior leaders have basically reached a consensus, that is, not to restrict his development, because for a talented person like him, the more restrictions he has, the more detrimental it will be to the development of the country.
Moreover, it is impossible for a genius like him to focus on a certain project. This will only waste his precious time. Moreover, he has done everything he should do, and the hard work can be left to others.
"You have wronged me. I am trying to make the best use of my talents. I am not necessarily better than others in managing large-scale projects like this. In this case, it is better to leave the responsibility to someone who is better at it." Zhao Yiye laughed. said.
After the greetings, everyone sat down again and began to discuss the future construction plan of the domestic high-speed rail network. Now that the reliability and maturity of the technology have been verified, large-scale construction will naturally follow.
And in terms of rail transit technology, the speed of 500 kilometers per hour is almost the limit. Even if it is a large-scale construction, there is no need to worry about frequent upgrades later.
If we just want to build on a large scale, on the one hand it is a question of funding, and on the other hand it is a question of capacity expansion by all parties. Only when these two aspects of work are done well can we start.
Since the entire set of technologies is provided by him, all technologies have complete autonomy, which reduces a large amount of R&D investment costs. All components are produced domestically, which can also reduce costs appropriately.
However, due to the very high parameter requirements, the overall cost is not as high as in the previous generation, but it is not low, and the cost per kilometer has reached 40 million.
In order to reach a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, the technical requirements for rails are naturally very high. Currently, only Cornerstone Materials can provide rail products that meet the requirements.
As for the various electrification facilities and communication facilities along the road, they are all top technologies in various fields, so it is understandable that they are expensive.
However, as the mileage of high-speed rail construction in my country increases, the cost may gradually decrease. However, he is not sure how much it can be reduced, because labor costs are rising very fast.
If our country wants to quickly lay high-speed rail lines across the country, the annual construction mileage must reach tens of thousands of kilometers, otherwise it will be difficult to meet the needs of our country's economic development.
This investment alone will cost at least 400 billion yuan per year, but during the discussion, Zhao Yi hoped that the annual mileage could be set to 20,000 kilometers.
His purpose in doing this is to adapt high-speed rail construction to urbanization. When urbanization is completed, domestic high-speed rails will basically be spread all over the country.
Moreover, if the pace is consistent, in the process of urbanization, it can also leave the necessary routes for high-speed railways, reduce large-scale demolitions in the later period, and save costs.
Moreover, the high-speed rail he designed is not only used to transport people, but also has the ability to transport cargo. However, the relevant cargo transport trains have not yet been developed.
Because transport personnel alone are a bit wasteful in Zhao Yi's opinion, and through the dispatching of higher-tech intelligent dispatching systems, the density of vehicles that can run on high-speed railway lines will increase several times.
Although our country is also a country with a large population, transporting people alone may not be able to keep the lines in a relatively saturated state. This is a huge loss for the units operating the railways.
But if you want goods and people to be transported on the same track, the speed of the freight high-speed rail must also reach 500 kilometers per hour. Otherwise, it will seriously slow down the line operation.
However, the weight of cargo trains is much heavier than that of passenger trains. To reach the same speed, more powerful power is required. Work in this area is being developed by Star Power Company.
By then, the speed of high-speed freight trains during the day will reach 500 kilometers per hour. However, in this case, the cost of goods will be relatively high, which is not very cost-effective for bulk goods.
But for the express delivery business, this kind of cost is still within an acceptable range. It is much faster than road transportation and does not even require so many cargo planes.
Since the high-speed train no longer transports people in the middle of the night and only transports goods, the speed can be reduced to 350 kilometers per hour, the transportation cost will be reduced a lot, and the transportation volume of each truck will also increase significantly.
It happened that all the leaders were there, and the leaders of the Ministry of Railways were also there. Zhao had a bold idea in an instant, which was to let Shangtong Trading Company underwrite railway freight services.
Shangtong Trading Company's current freight transportation basically uses waterways and highways, and the railway mileage itself is relatively short. Although some goods are transported by railway, the proportion is not large.
In the past, cargo transportation was mainly bulk commodities, and rail transportation was relatively expensive. However, after the e-commerce platform of Shangtong Trading Company was launched, the volume of express transportation will increase countless times in an instant.
Railway transportation is very suitable for express transportation, especially for expedited express delivery. This cost is completely affordable and much cheaper than air transportation.
"Dear leaders, you also know that the annual logistics scale of my Shangtong Trading Company is very large, and this scale is still increasing rapidly.
In the second half of this year, their e-commerce platform will be launched online, and the demand for express delivery across the country will also increase rapidly, so future transportation will still rely on railway transportation.
So I wonder if Shangtong Trading Company can cooperate with the Ministry of Railways and let Shangtong Trading Company underwrite high-speed rail freight business. This has very good cooperation prospects for both parties.
Shangtong Trading Company can rely on the high-speed rail network to speed up logistics transportation and increase logistics transportation volume, while the Ministry of Railways can also maximize the use of railway line capacity and increase revenue while meeting the needs of personnel transportation. " Zhao Yi asked.
The leaders were talking happily just now, but when Zhao Yi said this, they suddenly became quiet. It was really that his idea was a bit bold, and he actually wanted to let a private company contract all the railway freight business.
If he had not raised it, the leaders would have never considered this issue, but now that it has been raised, the leaders have to think about it seriously. (End of chapter)
